The transfer watch of Arsenal has turned towards the AC Milan young goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani who is a 20 year old prodigy whose goalkeeper skills have seen him save many a penalty that has brought back interest of Gunners. With Mikel Arteta starting to seek long-term success in goal, Torriani could be a great solution to replace David Raya. He is a youthful player with elite potential in a market that could definitely use better young goalkeepers.
Pre-Season Spark Ignites Pursuit
The journey of Lorenzo Torriani into the wishlist of Arsenal dates back to an angry pre-season dispute. He Italian refuted three spot-kicks in a friendly climax at the Gunners. That show was mouth-watering to scouts, and a solemn inquiry was made by North London. Torriani, who plays mostly as Milan Futuro in Serie D, but with two senior cameos to his name, has the acrobatic reflexes and dominant presence of the Milan dreaming of a future heir to Mike Maignan.

Milan’s Reluctant Grip
Earlier this year AC Milan turned down a 10m (8.5m) bid which indicates their overvaluation of the much-rated prospect. No January loan reported in La Gazzetta dello Sport, and the decisions are postponing to the summer of 2026. The failure of the first-team integration of Torriani (which stalled on the contract talks of Maignan) may open up. Arsenal regards the goalkeeper as a clever investment. A low-risk figure to strengthen the backup behind Raya and Neto.

Arteta’s Tactical Fit
Arsenal makes an offer that is better than that of others (possibly, they could offer more than 15m). Such a gesture is an indication of ambition. They are building up the spine without spending £50m on established names. Torriani is the future of Arsenal, as they pursue titles, he will be protecting the Emirates over 10 years.
